MSNBC has 1/10 of the viewers Fox has on any given hour of any given day. They have absoliutely NO credibility. Keith Olbermann is prime example of a leftist idealogical hack.

Conservatives will restore this country to its' former greatness despite your efforts to force its' demise.

I don't think the liberals' protective bubble has totally burst yet. Witness Pelosi's going after the Minority position! Even her own kind don't want her!! Laying low and going into hiding might be their best move for now. Unless they want to get on board and try to help fix the massive mess they have gotten us into!!

To follow your logic, should we also add the cost of a trip to the moon ???

Don't confuse them with the facts. It is deliberate ignorance, they don't desire truth.

I am sorry, I am coming back to this.

The cost of [whatever] (again if it had been true) would have made the figures extremely believable.

I don't know if you are aware of it, but you crafted a masterpiece.

No job, no money and endless credit, so you book a trip for 10 days to Hawaii, on the card.

Can I have an endless credit card, too?

What was your point in chopping my post down to three words, as I pointed out, the lies and propaganda are coming from the right at this point. I don't see why anyone would want to align themselves with known liars, unless they are doing the same.

No Obama is not being treated like past presidents and as for what you are saying about MSNBC, you are incorrect. Rachel Maddow had a whole segment about it on her show yesterday. I saw her show and Anderson Cooper's. As a matter of fact, they also discussed it on CNN again today and said it would take an entourage of 50,000 people for it to cost 200 million/day. Obama has approximately 1,000 with him (less than Clinton did when he want to Africa which at 5 million/day). You know this is a lie. No matter how many times the facts are presented, you refuse to see them, unless of course they work to the advantage of the delusional world of the far right where discrediting Obama is more important than the country, ethics, morals, truth, the economy and everything else.
The majority of Germans once sided with Hitler. I couldn't care less how many people agree or disagree with Fox News. I am capable of formulating my own opinion, unlike those jumping on the Fox News bandwagon. Fox News lied and you're defense is that the left is immoral and that Republicans won the election? Telling lies is immoral, period and so what their ratings are high, it doesn't justify the spreading of misinformation. Nor does it make them right. You're being brainwashed. Wake up.

In logic, an argumentum ad populum (Latin: "appeal to the people") is a fallacious argument that concludes a proposition to be true because many or all people believe it; it alleges: "If many believe so, it is so."
This type of argument is known by several names,[1] including appeal to the masses, appeal to belief, appeal to the majority, appeal to the people, argument by consensus, authority of the many, and bandwagon fallacy, and in Latin by the names argumentum ad populum ("appeal to the people"), argumentum ad numerum ("appeal to the number"), and consensus gentium ("agreement of the clans"). It is also the basis of a number of social phenomena, including communal reinforcement and the bandwagon effect, the spreading of various religious beliefs, and of the Chinese proverb "three men make a tiger".
